56:1? That¡¯s kind of a weird ratio. 49:1 is easy, it¡¯s 7:1 turns ratio (impedance goes as the square of the turns ratio). 64:1 would be 8:1 turns.

?I've seen other kits which supply 130 ft with a 56:1.

(NPFA 70, article 800) The other option for a coil at the feed point is also sometimes used - but you knew that.
